RICHMOND FREE KINDERGARTEN The monthly meeting of the Richmond Free Kindergarten committee was held at the school, with Mrs E. Hitchcock presiding. The regular attendance of the children was shown in the teacher’s report, the highest attendance being 55, and the lowest 50.

It was reported that many visitors had been to the school to watch the pupils at their work. The gift of two large and very warm rugs for the children’s rest periods was much appreciated, and the donors were heartily th Aconcert. organised by the mothers’ committee, had resuited m almost clearing the remaining debt on the | new piano.
